Auch in den USA gibt es Ökonomen, die trotz ihrer Nähe zu Liberalismus und Libertarismus nicht auf den ideologischen Anti-Lockdown-Zug aufgesprungen sind. @tylercowen zum Beispiel lässt bei @EconTalker kein gutes Haar an der Great Barrington Declaration:
"A lot of the people connected with that institution have made very dubious predictions and not backed down from them. They've told us that a lot of the cases are phony. It will all be over by--fill in the month. But, it's typically some time that was a while ago."
"Very passive attitudes or even hostile attitudes toward vaccines. And, making lockdown the only issue. I think when you look at the overall entire framing of Great Barrington, it's been extremely harmful. It has led libertarian and conservative movements in the wrong direction."
"The emphasis should have been, all along, deregulating the process of getting good vaccines out there quickly. And, if you look at what the Great Barrington people did on that it was remarkably little until very late in the process."
